Conference discusses solutions to protecting migrants’ rights in Red River and Mekong Delta
The National Economics University (NEU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Vietnam co-organised a conference entitled “Internal Migration in the Red River and Mekong River Deltas: Current Issues and Policy Implications” in Hanoi, on September 24.
The study’s results indicate that the majority of migrants in the sample have not accessed basic social benefits. Many of them, lacking professional skills, often engage in simple labour within companies or work freelance in seasonal jobs without access to health insurance, social insurance, or even voluntary social insurance, and are yet to benefit from social assistance policies at their destinations.
